I vaguely remember meeting her briefly when they were filming Body of Evidence in my neighbors houses. Got to watch a bunch of the outdoor shots from my bedroom window, quite a sight for a kid to see.

Margot Kidder's death ruled a suicide
Quote:
HELENA, Mont. -- "Superman" actress Margot Kidder's death has been ruled a suicide, and her daughter said Wednesday it's a relief to finally have the truth out. Kidder, who played Lois Lane opposite Christopher Reeve's Superman in her most famous role, was found by a friend in her Montana home on May 13.
At the time, Kidder's manager, Camilla Fluxman Pines, said Kidder died peacefully in her sleep.
A statement released Wednesday by Park County coroner Richard Wood said the 69-year-old Kidder "died as a result of a self-inflicted drug and alcohol overdose" and that no further details would be released.
Quote:
Maggie McGuane, Kidder's daughter by her ex-husband Thomas McGuane, told The Associated Press in a phone interview that she knew her mother died by suicide the moment authorities took her to Kidder's home in Livingston, a small town near Yellowstone National Park.
"It's a big relief that the truth is out there," she said. "It's important to be open and honest so there's not a cloud of shame in dealing with this."
Kidder's death is one of several high-profile suicides this year that include celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain and fashion designer Kate Spade.
McGuane noted that Montana has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation and she urged people with mental illness to seek help.
"It's a very unique sort of grief and pain," McGuane said. "Knowing how many families in this state go through this, I wish that I could reach out to each one of them."
Its almost sad looking at the cast list of the Superman movies
Chris Reeves - Dead
Margot Kidder - Dead
Marlon Brando - Dead
Jackie Cooper - Dead
Gene Hackman - Packed up his actor bag and quit
I never noticed that Gene Hackman hasn’t acted in 14 years. Looked at his filmography, he went out in style with some bad comedy with Ray Romano called Welcome To mooseport.
Welcome to Mooseport is one of the saddest films I've ever watched.
In that, it's sad to watch such a great actor in it.

Maybe he knew it was time after that? I kind of wish guys like Robert De Niro would know when to call it quits rather than extend his career almost exclusively in bad movies. He is literally one step away from co-starring with Nicolas Cage in straight to video movies.
There was nothing wrong with De Niro in Meet the Parents. It was a solid movie and he played his role great. Of course the sequels were a different animal.
Odd that you would pick that role when that same year he played Fearless Leader in The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle....
